Tencent to Localize PUBG for China

Playerunknown's Battlegrounds (PUBG) is coming to China, and there are changes coming to the popular survival game.

Chinese gaming company Tencent Holdings will alter the game to bring it more in line with socialist culture and values, according to Reuters.

Last month China's content regulator criticized the violence in PUBG, saying it would likely be blocked because it "severely deviates from socialist core values."

Tencent says it won the exclusive rights to PUBG in China, and will alter the game to meet China's exacting standards.

The company will make changes to ensure the game is consistent "with socialist core values, Chinese traditional culture and moral rules," according to a recent statement. Changes will highlight the spirit of teamwork and competition in the game, making sure it delivers "healthy, positive cultural and value guidance, especially for underage users."
